Just thought I'd mention this: Equine Emergency Rescue, particularly in light of my recent flood post, and with all the terrible, terrible things going on around Australia at the moment. Floods, fires, cyclone - and it's only just February!
It's important for horse owners to have some idea of how to rescue their beloved animals if things do go wrong. Having been in a float accident, let me tell you it is a horrifying, frightening experience. We all know horses are flight animals, and will panic if things go wrong. Even the calmest of horses can lose control in a tough situation - and let's face it, most of the time anyone coming to your rescue is probably not going to understand an awful lot about handling horses, let alone panicked, stressed ones!
The book is written in such a way that it's easy to show someone how to help your horse out of danger. Definitely worth the money - and if you get an electronic copy (like I did), you can print it and keep a copy in the car, stbales, float, truck, everywhere! Well worth the small cost in my opinion.
